Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Rose McGowan as Red Sonja? To proceed a new Conan film?

Baraka_Guru · 07-21-2009, 06:33 PM

I've read snippets of news and rumours about a new Conan film. But now I'm hearing about a Red Sonja film that might follow it. (I'll take both!)

The Sonja film was originally going to be released for 2009, but has apparently been postponed until 2010, since the Conan film has been indefinitely suspended.

I hope they work this out because I miss these kinds of films that were popular in the '80s: swords & sorcery. We need a resurgence of this kind of film. No more kids stuff, no more 300 eye candy. Just the straight-up goods. Dark themes, course language, and violence; blood, sweat, and steel....

Has anyone else read anything about these projects?
Anyone else hoping they aren't ruined by current trends in filmmaking?
